Here’s a Dockerfile I’m using for local cdk development. It installs Docker, CDK and the AWS CLI.
It supports bundling with cdk synth and npm test.
It’s important that your working directory in your container is the same path as it is on your host machine. I check out code to /home/scarab05/sandbox.
